Answer 1

1.When you are evaluating what internship outcomes you hope to achieve, it helps to see what areas you would like to learn more about. For example, if you are interested in learning more about software applications companies use within your field, you may set a goal to be proficient with a particular program the company uses by the time you finish your internship. When you set objectives that you are enthusiastic about, you will feel more motivated to work toward them.

2. Obviously, an internship is valuable for the standard reasons— gaining corporate experience, strengthening your career prospects post-graduation, adding another resume point. And getting paid is definitely an advantage as well. However, there are some unexpected perks of an internship that will encourage you more to opt for an internship.

• They get to eat lunch- Hopefully, at every place interns work they are given a real lunch break (because they absolutely should.) While we may be throwing food in our mouths at our desks, we get to watch them walk off and see the outside world.
• They get to travel- A lot of interns get to travel quite a bit. Heck, many airline intern program lets interns fly for free! Many internships also offer travel reimbursements.
• They get cool free stuff - Not at every company but at magazine, media and fashion-related companies you are bound to get at least one free thing. If an editor is sent new products and doesn’t want them, at times the interns can take their pick. This can be anything from a new lotion, a travel-sized hair iron or even unwanted clothing.

3. Here, it is more professional and each one in a team needs to work together to finish the task. In an internship, you learn to work as a team without focusing entirely on yourself. You also develop patience in situations when you disagree with another member(s) of the team. Yes, every single plan requires some change, it also need some basic changes.

4. My intern experience set a direction, a route which helped me set my career goals and objectives. The things I have learned are.

• Expertise- Of course, the primary thing that I learnt from my internships was the expertise or skills required to complete tasks in the field. As I decided to go for social media marketing, my internships provided me with skills and expertise to run social media for a business.
• Working as a team- Let’s take football as an example; a team cannot win if the individual performances are good but teamwork is poor. Similarly, business cannot achieve their goals and targets if the teamwork is missing. My internship experiences made me realize the importance of teamwork.
• Independence- There is a myth that interns are usually spoon-fed about everything and they are not allowed to do anything on their own. During my second internship, I was given the complete ownership of social media channels of the business. I had to start everything from the scratch. This is where my ability to take decisions independently was polished. This attribute is very important in the professional world.
• Believe in yourself- Working as an intern and completing imperative tasks for my departments and companies gave me confidence to believe in myself. Believing yourself is not only vital to your success but it also helps you feel much more competent and confident in every task you do.

5. Seek to learn something every day

Finally, I have a Golden Intern Rule. I believe that interns should learn something new every day. In fact, I tell our interns to call me at the end of the day and ask me any question about construction if they haven't learned something new that day. Some take me up on the invitation and call almost every day. Often, their questions are technical and related to the work in progress. It gives me a feel for how much they care and what drives them, and I've also realized that opening my door gives them a resource to turn to when they would otherwise let questions go unanswered. Whether it's the supervisor on your own project, or a trade worker in the field, find someone who can answer your questions - and always make sure you ask.
